I think Sterling High School is a great place to attend. My four years felt like they flew by and I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. However I feel like teachers are a huge part of a students life when they're young. With my experience I really didn't like a lot of the teachers based on how they portrayed themselves and treated some students including myself. However I am grateful to have been a part of Sterling.

I like almost everything about Sterling High School it is a good environment with good teachers. I feel like I don't learn very much or I am not pushed enough sometimes but other than that it is great. I like the option to take classes at the college I plan on taking most classes at the college next year, so that will save a lot of money overtime.
